Back in April my photography took me to Sioux Falls SD to capture the wedding of Luke and Savannah. This beautiful day was a reminder of how much of a privilege it is to be a wedding photographer. I get the chance to meet my clients at such a special time in their life; getting to know them as people and capturing one of the biggest days in their lives is a pretty big deal. Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of work and life I at times forget just how freakin amazing great my job is.

I appreciate this sweet couple for showing me overwhelmingly warm hospitality. Their wedding day was full of so much love. As I had the chance to chat with their family and friends I was able to see even more so how amazing they truly were.

This beautiful couple right here kept me laughing their whole shoot! The evening I spent capturing their love was definitely one for the books.

When Ashley contacted me she mentioned that she wanted one her looks to have a 1920's appeal; which was right up my alley because I love jumping back in time. In the process of planning for their shoot I was able to snag a vintage Rolls Royce!!!!

Everything about this shoot made me cry with excitement. I love it when clients come to me with fun ideas and the mindset to have a good time.

It's been years now that I've known this beautiful family. There is something so wonderful about watching your friends grow and thrive over the years. To say the least I had an amazing time shooting these images. #familygoals

The 1950s Forbidden Love Series This concept is one that is very close to my heart; I've always been in love with the sheer beauty of 50s. For many months I've been drawing this concept out in my mind, so finally the time came for it to be brought to life. First I went on a mad hunt for the perfect characters to epitomize these roles. Since durning this time period interracial couples were quite rare compared to today, I wanted to show that stark contrast. After a couple months of searching I came across two very beautiful creatives, Christin Mullens and Eric Mouton; not only were they some of the kindest individuals ever but their styles and spirit embodied the right amount of class and ingenuity I was looking for. Prior to this series they had never met, but on set instantly these two had chemistry that was unparalleled. After the models were pinned down I went around to find vendors who not only had extreme talent but could also connect to this slightly unconventional but classic concept. All the vendors who jumped on board not only fell in love with the concept as much as I, but they also put their all in bringing to the table their own unique twist. Their creativity and input really topped everything off. Words cannot explain how much I appreciate their contributions. Although the shoot was delayed a couple times due to unexpected events in weather, when the time came everything fell into place beautifully. What I learned from this shoot is not to dismiss creative intuition. With proper planning a simple thought can develop into a something so real. When I started my photography business going on 3 years ago shoots like this seemed so out of my reach, but that's one of the things I love the most about photography; it's such a visual way to see personal progression. I hope you enjoy these images.50'sLove-150'sLove-250'sLove-350'sLove-450'sLove-550'sLove-650'sLove-750'sLove-850'sLove-950'sLove-1050'sLove-1150'sLove-1250'sLove-1350'sLove-1450'sLove-1550'sLove-1650'sLove-1750'sLove-1850'sLove-1950'sLove-2050'sLove-2150'sLove-2250'sLove-2350'sLove-2450'sLove-2550'sLove-2650'sLove-2750'sLove-2850'sLove-2950'sLove-3050'sLove-3150'sLove-3250'sLove-3350'sLove-3450'sLove-3550'sLove-3650'sLove-3750'sLove-3850'sLove-3950'sLove-4050'sLove-4150'sLove-4250'sLove-4350'sLove-4450'sLove-4550'sLove-4650'sLove-4850'sLove-4950'sLove-5450'sLove-5050'sLove-5150'sLove-5250'sLove-5350'sLove-5650'sLove-5750'sLove-5850'sLove-5950'sLove-6050'sLove-6150'sLove-6250'sLove-6350'sLove-6450'sLove-6550'sLove-6650'sLove-6750'sLove-6850'sLove-6950'sLove-7050'sLove-7150'sLove-7250'sLove-7350'sLove-7450'sLove-7550'sLove-7650'sLove-7750'sLove-7850'sLove-7950'sLove-8050'sLove-8150'sLove-8250'sLove-8350'sLove-8450'sLove-8550'sLove-8650'sLove-8750'sLove-8850'sLove-8950'sLove-9050'sLove-9150'sLove-9250'sLove-9350'sLove-9450'sLove-9550'sLove-9650'sLove-9750'sLove-9850'sLove-9950'sLove-10050'sLove-10150'sLove-10250'sLove-10350'sLove-10450'sLove-10550'sLove-10650'sLove-10750'sLove-10850'sLove-10950'sLove-11050'sLove-11150'sLove-11250'sLove-11350'sLove-11450'sLove-11550'sLove-11650'sLove-11750'sLove-11850'sLove-11950'sLove-12050'sLove-12150'sLove-12250'sLove-12350'sLove-12450'sLove-12550'sLove-12650'sLove-12850'sLove-12950'sLove-13050'sLove-13150'sLove-13250'sLove-13450'sLove-135

This styled engagement shoot is part one of a two part series I'm doing inspired of the 1950s. I've always been a huge of this time period, and finally I found the perfect group of creatives to help bring it to life.
Although it rained, and baby when I say rained it poured on us, as soon as we began shooting, the soft light and moods on this stormy day made us all fall in love.

Back in the 50s it was uncommon to see biracial couples. In this series, though it is inspired of the 50s, I wanted to give it a modern twist. One showing the contrast and beauty of interracial relationships today as well as providing style inspiration for ones planning their upcoming wedding.

Would you like to know a little about the location? We set the stage for this shoot at the Hotel Pines in Pine Bluff AR (my hometown). This hotel was very grand in it's prime, but sad to say it closed it's door back in 1968. Although no longer in operation this hotel set the stage perfectly for this shoot.

I'm so thankful to have had the opportunity to bring so many sweet vendors in for this collaboration. This is just a taste of what's to come on the wedding day, which will include a full contribution from everyone who welcomed their time and creativity to bringing this series of shoots to life.

Wowowowowow! It's been over a year since I've blogged anything so to dive back into the waters my first blog post will be from a recent shoot I planned with the wonderful Christin Mullens. To date we've done several projects together,(all which I plan to share very soon as well). I have to say this girl is pure gold; we had SO much fun with this concept. I'm very thankful for all the beautiful vendors that contributed, and I hope you guys enjoy this 1930's non traditional bridal shoot with an edgy twist.

I'm so happy I had the opportunity to shoot with these beauties. They absolutely stole my heart, every single tiny freaking piece, and reminded me all the more why I love what I do so much.

So I'm done! I've finished high school and one of the most exciting summer of my life is finally here. I'm pumped to see where my photography takes me this summer. Starting last week I started my internship with Grey Dog Boutique. I'll be working for them this summer and doing sweet photo shoots with some of their adorable and vintage clothing; I couldn't be happier. My first visit with them was one that I will always hold close to my heart. The gals at Grey Dog are so loving and truly made me feel like I was part of the family.

I have been wanting to do this shoot for months now, but with the Arkansas hectic weather and trying to juggle my plans with senior year, it seemed like everything kept getting in the way. So in between this time I did some digging through Goodwills searching for dresses and other pieces that would suit the 1950's pinup era, as well as some thrifting in search of some odd pieces to use for props. That part was fun and fairly easy, but actually finding a good time for the shoot was the struggle. I had tried to plan the shoot in January, which I should have known better, and it ended up snowing every time I set a date; at that point I just set the plans to the side until I knew the weather had made up it mind that it wanted to act right.

So spring starts rolling in and things are looking pretty good not to mention spring break is like right around the corner! Which means I'll have more shoot time, which means things are about to get real, which mean it's time for some Pinup madness! I still had all the items for the shoot stored up, so I went ahead and pulled out all my little vintage goodies and started making calls to my girls, the lovely babes who were the models, and we were finally able to find a day that worked for all of us, as well as my wonderful friend and talented makeup artist and two other creative friends who helped with hair as well as made sure things flowed during the shoot; I can't explain to you how amazing all these ones are, like I can go on all day, but I get back to how great they are later.

Now that we have a date everything is perfect now and there is no problems from there. Nahhh. Although I had most of everything in order I had no clue to where I should do this shoot. Okay so some months back I had made a visit to a absolutely stunning restaurant called South on Main in Little Rock to shoot for a band that was performing there, and I just fell in love; it had such a wonderful and classic vibe to it, PERFECT for what I had in mind for this shoot. I gave the owners a call up and they had absolutely no problem with us shooting there! Like I could not have asked for a better venue to shoot at than South on Main. Now everything is all lined up and ready to go. So here are a few behind the scenes photos of us getting the girls ready for the shoot. Thank you for sticking with me; I hope you enjoy.
